Rand Paul Reveals “Racist” Trump Reached Into Own Pocket to Help Haiti

During an appearance over the weekend on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Sen. Rand Paul dismissed the suggestion by identity politics-obsessed liberals that President Donald Trump harbors racist feelings toward the Haitians.

“I think it is unfair to all of a sudden, paint him, ‘well, he’s a racist,’ when I know for a fact he cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because he helped to finance a trip, we were able to give vision back for 200 people in Haiti,” he said, according to the Washington Examiner.

Paul, an opthalmologist, made the statement days after a fuss erupted over remarks the president had allegedly made during a private discussion on immigration policy with congressional Democrats and Republicans.

Following the closed-door meeting Thursday, Sen. Dick Durbin told the media that he had heard the president refer to Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as “s**thole” nations. Though some evidence now suggests Trump never even said this, the media have been insistent that this alleged remark makes the president a racist.

Paul disagrees on the basis that someone with racist feelings about the Haitians would not fund a trip to provide them with health care.

Speaking again about this during an appearance Tuesday on Fox News, Paul further expounded on what exactly happened.

“When I went to Haiti a few years ago, I went on a medical mission trip and we did cataract surgery for about 200 people who were largely blind before their surgery,” he said.

“I asked for donations before I went on the trip and one of them was (from) a businessman Donald J. Trump, who not only helped with the trip to Haiti but helped with a previous trip we took to Central America.”

Does this prove Trump isn't a racist?

Now, contrast Trump’s generosity with the lack thereof of failed Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, a woman whom the media worked awfully hard (and unethically) two years ago to try and install as America’s next president.

And of the money that actually made it to Haiti, much of it wound up being used to fund garbage recovery solutions, including shelters described by The Nation as “structurally unsafe and laced with formaldehyde.”

“(W)hen Nation reporters visited the (Clintons’) ‘hurricane-proof’ shelters in June, six to eight months after they’d been installed, we found them to consist of twenty imported prefab trailers beset by a host of problems, from mold to sweltering heat to shoddy construction,” the leftist outlet reported back in 2011.
